2. Add desired amount of coffee according to the coffee measurement chart found on
Page 6. Shake lightly to level coffee, and return the black inner filter basket to the
swivel basket filter holder, and swing closed.
3.
Be sure the paper filter is properly centered before closing the swivel filter basket holder.
4. Fill the water reservoir with cold tap water to desired capacity as indicated by the water
window on the side of the Coffeemaker. (1 cup equals 5 ounces)
IMPORTANT:
To achieve the best performance of the Thermal Carafe, rinse the Thermal Carafe
with HOT tap water before brewing. This will yield a HOTTER cup of coffee.
5. While brewing, the brew through lid must be on the Thermal Carafe, and you must
have the BREW and POUR arrow aligned with the spout. Place the empty Thermal
Carafe onto the warmer plate.
6. Plug the power cord into an outlet. For a push button model, to start the brew cycle
press and release the select button firmly until the red “ON” light is lit. For a clock
model, just press the select button and the red “ON” light will go on.
7. When coffee stops flowing, the brewing cycle is complete.
8. When the brewing cycle is completed, the push button
and clock models will shut-off automatically.
The indicator light will go out to let you know
the brewing cycle is completed.
9. To pour coffee once the brewing process is complete,
make sure the BREW and POUR arrow of the lid is
aligned with the spout. Place thumb on the thumb
tab area of the lid and pour. Once pouring is complete
align the closed arrow of the lid to the spout of the
Thermal Carafe (See Figure 1).
10. When cooled, carefully remove the black inner filter
basket and discard the used grounds and filter.
Rinse the filter basket and replace.
